Our test drive was first low level formatted with FWB and a read/write.

If your macOS isn't up to date, you may be able to update to a later version.

Which macOS version is installed?

From the Apple menu  in the corner of your screen, choose About This Mac. https://herejfile142.weebly.com/pubg-pc-paid.html. You should see the macOS name, such as macOS Big Sur, followed by its version number. If you need to know the build number as well, click the version number to see it.

Which macOS version is the latest?

These are all Mac operating systems, starting with the most recent. When a major new macOS is released, it gets a new name, such as macOS Big Sur. As updates that change the macOS version number become available, this article is updated to show the latest version of that macOS.

If your Mac is using an earlier version of any Mac operating system, you should install the latest Apple software updates, which can include important security updates and updates for the apps that are installed by macOS, such as Safari, Books, Messages, Mail, Music, Calendar, and Photos.

Overview

What is pdisk?

A simple editor for Apple disk partition format. There are twomain versions of pdisk: one for Linux and one for the Mac OS. Thisdocument describes the Mac OS version of pdisk. Much of this documentis also relevant to the Linux version, but check the manual page(pdisk.8) also.

What is the Apple disk partition format?

Most operating systems have ways to divide disks into severalpieces - so that an entire disk does not have to be devoted to onefilesystem, or even to one operating system. This division of thedisk is usually called partitioning. In some systems the partitioninginformation is built into the operating system code, but that tends tobe restrictive. In the Mac OS the partitioning information is storedon the first few blocks of the disk.

The Apple disk partition scheme was developed in 1986 by the A/UXteam with input from the Mac OS and Apple II teams. There was anearlier partition scheme used in the first SCSI drives on theMacPlus, but that was replaced by the current scheme in the MacintoshII and subsequent machines and in subsequent operating systemreleases. The current scheme is supported by Mac OS, A/UX, ProDos,MkLinux, LinuxPPC, and MacOS X.

What are LinuxPPC and MkLinux?

Just in case you got pdisk other than as part of a LinuxPPC orMkLinux release:

LinuxPPC is a port of the true Linux operating system that runson most of the Power Macintosh systems from Apple Computer. It alsoruns on several non-Apple PowerPC machines. https://hereeload884.weebly.com/redux-atticusfinn-mac-os.html.

MkLinux is a portion of the Linux operating system, converted to runas a server process on top of the Mach microkernel. As with Linux,all of the operating system source code is available fordownload, including theMach source. MkLinux runs on some of PowerPC based Macintoshmachines.

Which Macintosh machines does pdisk run on?

The Mac OS binary should run on any PowerPC based Macintosh. Ithas been tested under System 7.6.1 and System 8, but should run onolder versions of the Mac OS as well. A Mac OS 68000 binary is alsodistributed for those who may find it useful.

Why would I want to use pdisk on the Mac OS?

The main clients for the Mac OS version of pdisk are Linuxusers. pdisk was originally developed for Linux. The command syntaxwas originally identical to that for the 'fdisk' program. (fdisk is aLinux program which edits the DOS/Windows disk partition format.) TheMac OS version is a simple, crude port of the Linux version.

The advantages of pdisk over the various Mac OS disk partitioningprograms (such as SilverLining, the FWB toolkit, Apple HD SC Setup,DriveSetup, etc) are: https://oqngtfluid-bonusslotsmachinescleopatragratis.peatix.com.

• unlike the Apple partitioners, it does not restrict the set of drives it can operate on
• it allows partitions to be reordered (helpful, as Linux depends on the order)
• it creates Linux partitions by default
• it allows the size of the partition map to be changed
• it allows the name of a partition to be changed
• it allows you to edit the partition map of your boot disk

The disadvantages of pdisk are:

• it doesn't automatically initialize HFS partitions
• it can't install disk drivers
• it allows you to edit the partition map of your boot disk

Where can I get the source?

The main site for LinuxPPC is <http://www.linuxppc.org>.The main site for MkLinux is<http://www.mklinux.org>.

Description of the program (as of version 0.8)

Though pdisk is a Macintosh program its interface is veryun-Macintosh. pdisk is what is called a line-oriented program. In aline-oriented program you do things by typing on the keyboard and theprogram does not pay attention to the typing until the return key hasbeen typed.

When you start up pdisk it brings up a window with some text init. The last line of this text should be something like ' Top levelcommand (? for help): '. This is the prompt. If you type '?' followedby a return character you should get a list like this:

Some of these commands need what are called arguments - forexample l (list) and e (edit) need a single argument,the name of the device to list or edit. Commands which take argumentsprompt for each argument in turn. You can also type any number of thearguments separated by spaces and those prompts will be skipped.Commands are case insensitive (e.g. h and H) exceptwhen the upper case letter does a variant form of the operation.

h

Prints just the command help. The difference between h and ? is the latter prints some helpful notes as well.

v

Prints a version number and release date. Matches the version in the GetInfo window for the application.

l

Prompts for the name of the device and then lists the partition map on that device.

L

Lists all the devices.

e

Prompts for the name of the device and then opens the partition map for editing.

E

Same as e, except also prompts for block size.

r

Toggles read-only setting. When read-only is on pdisk will not write a partition map.

f

Toggles show filesystem name flag between 'show fileystem name' and 'show partition name'. The default is to show the filesystem name. Showing the filesystem name is helpful when you have several equal sized Macintosh partitions on the disk.

q

Quit pdisk.

The form of the listing

This is a good point to show what the partition map listing lookslike.

The first line indicates what device this is and what size blocksthe partition map is using. Most partition maps will use 512-byteblocks, but partition maps can use 1024-byte (1K) or 2048-byte (2K)blocks instead. If we are able to deduce an Linux name differentfrom the name then the Linux name is given in parentheses.

Next is the partition list. Each partition (or piece) of the disktakes one line of the list. The data describing the partition iscalled the partition map entry. The entries are listed in order byindex. For each entry, the following information is displayed:

• index - where the partition entry is in the map. This does not correspond the relative order of the partition contents and can change when the partition map is edited.
• type - the sort of data expected to be in the partition. pdisk doesn't put data into the contents of any partition except the partition map partition. The type is a case-insensitive string.
• name - the name is for the user's information. If the name is in quotes then it is the Mac volume name rather than actual partition name.
• length - the number of partition blocks the partition takes.
• base - the first block of the partition, measured in partition blocks, starting from zero.
• size - this is the length in bytes. Only shown if the size is at least one megabyte.

Following the partition list is information from block zero of thedevice which describes the location of drivers.

Editing Partition Tables

The e command at the top level menu opens a partition mapfor editing. The prompt is then changed to 'Command (? for help):'.If you type '?' followed by a return character you should get a listlike this:

Silverlining Mac Os Catalina

Commands which take arguments prompt for each argument in turn.You can also type any number of the arguments separated by spaces andthose prompts will be skipped. The only exception to typeahead arethe confirmation prompts on the i and w commands.Commands can are case insensitive (e.g. h and H) exceptwhen the upper case letter does a variant form of the operation.

Partitions are always specified by their number, which the indexof the partition entry in the partition map. Many of the commandswill change the index numbers of other partitions besides theaffected partition. You are advised to print the table as frequentlyas necessary.

Creating more than fifteen partitions is not advised. There iscurrently a bug in the some (all?) of the kernels which causes accessto the whole disk fail if more than fifteen partitions are in themap.

h

Prints just the command help. The difference between h and ? is the latter prints some helpful notes as well.

p

Prints the partition table. The form is identical to the listing described above.

P

Identical to p, except the entries are listed in the order of the partitions on the disk (i.e. by the increasing base value) rather than in index order.

i

Initializes the partition map (rarely used). This command prompts for the size of the device. WARNING - if you write the map after initializing it you will delete all the drivers on the device. That makes the device invisible to the Mac OS. pdisk is not able to install drivers.

s

Change the size of the partition map partition. The partition map's size must be less than or equal to the size of the partition it is contained in. This is mostly useful when you want to do tricky things like making a disk with multiple partitioning schemes on it.

c

Create a new partition takes three arguments.
The first argument is the base address (in partition blocks) of the partition. Besides a raw number, you can also specify a partition number followed by the letter 'p' to indicate that the first block of the new partition should be the same as the first block of that existing free space partition.
The second argument is the length of the partition in partition blocks. This can be a raw number or can be a partition number followed by the letter 'p' to use the size of that partition or can be a number followed by 'k', 'm', or 'g' to indicate the size in kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes respectively. (These are powers of 1024, of course, not powers of 1000.)
The last argument is the name of the partition. This can be a single word without quotes, or a string surrounded by single or double quotes.
The type of the created partition is set to the correct type for Linux ('Apple_UNIX_SVR2').

C

Identical to the c command, with the addition of a prompt for the partition type after the other arguments. The type can be a single word without quotes, or a string surrounded by single or double quotes.

n

Rename a partition. Do not change the name of any partition whose type starts with 'Apple_Driver'. The MacOS looks at the names of those partitions. All other partitions should be okay to change.

d

Delete a partition. When a partition is deleted it's type is changed to free ('Apple_Free') and then it is combined with any adjacent free space.

r

Reorder takes the current index and the desired new index. If you give a new index which is greater than the last index the entry will be moved to the last index.

w

Write does write the partition map out, but pdisk does not yet flush the appropriate caches and unmount volumes so the partition map is not reinterpreted. In order to use the new partition map you must reboot your machine. Sorry.

q

Quit out of editing. Returns to the top level prompt. If you have modified the partition map you are NOT asked if you want to save the changes, instead the changes are quietly thrown away.

Known problems

This is an awful Mac OS application, it should be rewritten to look the way a Mac OS app should look.

The code assumes a better understanding of the partitioning scheme than most people care to acquire.

Even more help should be available during user input.
